Rachel Brosnahan stars as Miriam “Midge” Maisel, who lives on New York City’s very Jewish Upper West Side in the 1950s. Created by “Gilmore Girls” showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino, and inspired by her Jewish comedian father, the show features jokes about brisket, dreidels and mezuzahs.

The second season, which starts with the show’s stars on a detour in Paris, opens with a Barbra Streisand tune. It also features a Yom Kippur service and a visit to the Borscht Belt Catskills, among other delightfully Jewish moments.
